Description This classic farce follows three couples over three successive (and increasingly chaotic) Christmases. As each couple struggles with their changing fortunes, personal crises and domestic disasters - all in the confines of their kitchen - riotous mayhem abounds.
With a great eye for social pretension and human failings, Ayckbourn has created some of his most memorable comic characters, including the socially ambitious Sidney Hopcroft, the suicidal Eva Jackson, and the utterly sozzled Marion Brewster- Wright.
